Natural uranium generally contains more than 99% uranium-238 and less than 1% uranium-235, and only the latter is uranium that can undergo chain reactions, that is, nuclear reactions. Therefore, in the past, when producing nuclear bombs, it was necessary to remove the impurities in the uranium-238 and increase the purity of uranium-235 to more than 90%.

However, if it is only used for power generation, it only needs to be more than 3% pure. Therefore, it is naturally not necessary for the old nuclear power plant to purify the fuel to a high level. After all, the cost of purification is not low.

Tatu tried to pretend to be regretful and regretful, in order to hide the uncontrollable excitement in his eyes.

"What can I do? We can't manipulate nuclear power again! And if we manipulate the electromagnetic force, no matter how hard we try, it may be that the purified uranium-235 is not enough for one explosion, so it is completely impossible to blow up the entire migration satellite! ”

No, Steven said without looking back:

"You don't have to worry about this, this migration satellite is actually using a new type of nuclear reactor!"

The biggest difference between the new nuclear reactor and the old one is that it does not rely on fission, but on fusion.

There are two types of nuclear reactions, one is nuclear fission and the other is nuclear fusion. Fusion releases more energy than fission energy, and the power generation efficiency is naturally stronger, but the power after explosion will also increase exponentially. A nuclear bomb made using the principle of fusion can be more than 100 times more powerful than a fission bomb!

Tatu couldn't help but roar angrily:

"How is that possible?"

New nuclear reactors are naturally more difficult to build than old ones, and the difficulty lies in how to hold nuclear fuel. To initiate nuclear fusion, the fuel needs to be heated to hundreds of millions of degrees, and almost nothing can withstand that heat. Even the surface of the blue star Doromo is only 10,000 degrees Celsius!

To this end, one of the most feasible solutions has been devised today: to make the fuel into charged plasma and then use a super-strong magnetic field to bind them. Let them float in the middle of the container without direct contact with the container.

However, in this case, how to create a super-strong magnetic field becomes another problem. Superconductors are needed to create super-strong magnetic fields, but for a long time in the past, superconductors could only be used at low temperatures.

So, once again, solar metal has become the key key.

It is precisely because of the first important property of solar metals, the high-temperature superconductivity property, that fusion nuclear reactors can successfully step off the blueprint and step into reality, bringing cleaner and more efficient energy and triggering a new technological revolution.

It can be said that it is precisely because of the emergence of solar metal that humans in the Blue Sun Galaxy have the ability to open the era of interstellar migration in advance.

Then, as if to completely dismiss what Steven had said, Tatu exclaimed eagerly:

"Impossible! When the second asteroid belt was first developed, due to the deliberate control of the Empire, Titan-1 was all made of ordinary materials, how could there be a new nuclear reactor? Impossible, absolutely impossible! ”

At the time of Times-1's construction, solar metal was only found in the blue giant Star Doromo, and was firmly in the hands of the Imperial Government.

At that time, the Imperial Government was worried about whether the second asteroid belt, which is farthest from the ancestral planet, would get out of control, and at first it completely did not allow the solar metal, which can greatly enhance the power of weapons, to flow into the second asteroid belt, even for the construction of the most basic nuclear reactors.

It is precisely for this reason that the second asteroid belt has been in a state of energy shortage in the early stage of development, and countless senseless sacrifices have occurred. The spark of division was sown at the outset of the migration.

Steven looked back with some confusion. Tatu's reaction was visibly overacted, and he smelled a hint of danger in it.

However, despite the suspicions in his heart, Steven quickly hid the fierce light in his eyes, and explained in detail pretending not to pay attention:

"Although it is true that Times-1 originally used an old nuclear reactor, the independence movement in the second asteroid belt intensified, and the Imperial secret service, the palace police, intervened and used it as an important stronghold, saying that the prison used to hold the dragon beasts was actually built by them, originally to hold political prisoners involved in the independence movement."

Hearing this, Tatu's heart began to fall uncontrollably.

"This ......"

"Those emperor's black-clothed hounds, since they have to work here, they will naturally suffer from a lack of energy. So they secretly modified the nuclear reactor and secretly replaced the old nuclear reactor here with a new one. ”

Tatu struggled unwillingly:

"This, how is this possible?"

"Really, Times-1 doesn't actually use solar metal at all, as the legend says, its nuclear reactor is actually a new type of nuclear reactor with a certain amount of solar metal. So ......"

"So, so what?"

"So we'll be able to do it easily very quickly, blowing up the entire migration satellite."

Coming into contact with Steven's malicious gaze, just like jumping into the ice during winter training in the past, Tatu instantly felt cold all over.

Although he did not dare to provide more and more obvious help to the students, he did not dare to let himself be tainted with more evil.

In the past ten days, the students who have been plagued by drugs often appear in his dreams, their young and broken bodies, their resentful eyes, their vicious curses, all of which make him so miserable that he does not dare to sleep for a long time.

And although Steven seems to have turned around and continued to drift forward intently, he is actually still using the corner of his eye to catch all the subtle changes, just holding still.

"I only learned about this secret after the head of the regiment told me, so it's normal that you don't know. Why, was it shocked? ”

"Oh, oh, yes, it's shocking!"

Tatou remembered winter swimming again. First jumped into the ice river, first there was an unbearable stinging pain, and then when the body gradually cooled down, a fire would rise in the heart. The looming darkness finally made Tatu decide to break with the darkness once and for all.

"If only I had known earlier, it would be a lot of extra money!"

"Hmph, you think beautifully. It's just that I'm afraid that a petty person like you will covet it, so the above will simply block this news. ”

A sneer of disdain appeared on Steven's face as he carried Tatu.

"Yes, yes, I'm just a little person, far inferior to you. You've been promoted and made a fortune, and I can only wait for the embarrassment to get out! ”

"Haha, you know it. Tatu, if you could have recognized your own level earlier, if you could have been comfortable with me earlier, if I had mentioned you a few words earlier, how would you have ended up where you are today? ”

Steven turned around and mocked:

"Hehe, Tatu, what else do you have in your head besides hydrocephalus!"

Tatuden was furious, his eyes widened for a moment, but he quickly lowered his head and suppressed it with all his might. This short-tempered reckless man tried to learn to control, tried his best to suppress the arrogance in his bones, and tried to learn to flatter:

"Yes, yes, Sir Steven, it's you, it's you, it's you, it's me Tatu who has no eyes. Eh, it's too late to say anything! ”

In order to atone for his sins, Tatu felt that he would not hesitate to pay for his life, let alone suffer a little humiliation from the dead. There was a faint fierce glint in his eyes.

Steven, on the other hand, pretended to be confused and smiled very satisfied.

"Haha, Tatu, that's right!"

Steven turned around and said happily to Tatu:

"Forget it, for the sake of your acquaintance, I'll take a hand!"
